The second child got the order from Boss Qiao, and ran out without saying a word, questioned the kid from the Sun family who was still promoting loudly, and then ran to Grandma Sun to ask about Chen Xing.
After asking Boss Qiao what he wanted to know, Xiao Er returned to the store with a dazed expression on his face. Looking at the boss who was waiting for his report, he hesitated and said, "Boss, I just asked clearly."
Boss Qiao was already angry because of the poor business in the store, but now seeing Xiaoer still hesitating, he immediately became angry, "Say what you have to say!"
Xiao Er didn't dare to reply after being yelled at by her, so he could only tell all the news he had inquired about, "That boy from the Sun family is promoting a new place that sells food to that brother, and the little boy who sells mapo tofu Brother, not only was he not arrested and sent to jail that day, but he rented the stall at the end of the street from the official.”
The second after he finished speaking, a shrill female voice sounded in the shop,
"What?!!!"
Boss Qiao's eyes were wide open, and he looked at the waiter in disbelief, obviously unable to accept the answer here.
Xiao Er shrank her neck and whispered, "I don't believe it either, but that's what the old woman said."
Boss Qiao glared angrily at Grandma Sun's wonton stall, then turned to the trembling little boy next to him and said, "Take care of the store, I'll go out for a while."
After finishing speaking, Boss Qiao walked towards the end of the street with fierce steps.
Looking at the direction the boss was going, Xiao Er, who could probably guess what he was going to do, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "He is just a little brother with no relatives and no reason, why should the boss do this?"
Boss Qiao successfully found Chen Xing's current stall along the street, not because of her good eyesight, but because Chen Xing's stall was too obvious.
On the edge of the city wall, the stalls that were originally ventilated on all sides were covered with thatch, and clean tables and chairs were placed in the middle. At this time, they were full of diners.
And Chen Xing, the owner of the stall, was standing in front of the stove to serve the new customers, and there was a long queue in front of him.
Boss Qiao felt a little unbelievable that there were actually a few yamen servants in the queue. Seeing those yamen servants who were usually arrogant and flaunting their might to the people, they were obediently queuing up like ordinary people at this moment. Team, and even offered to help maintain order, her eyeballs were about to pop out.
Nameless jealousy grew in Boss Qiao's heart, but she knew that she couldn't do anything, so she looked at Chen Xing for a long time, and when Chen Xing was almost busy, she turned and went back to her small restaurant.
Chen Xing knew nothing about Boss Qiao's arrival. He didn't even know this person, so naturally he didn't want to care about things that had nothing to do with him.
After the busiest time, Chen Xing had a little time to catch his breath. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and handed the last bowl of Mapo Tofu to the woman in front of him.
The woman is also a regular customer, and she can have a few words with Chen Xing on weekdays. She took the meal she bought, looked at Chen Xing and asked with some doubts: "When I was queuing just now, I saw a The woman has been staring at you, little boss, is it someone from your family?"
Chen Xing's first reaction was that Grandma Sun came to him, so he asked, "Is it an elderly grandma?"
The woman shook her head, recalled for a while, and said, "No, she is a very young and beautiful woman."
Chen Xing thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Maybe he was just passing by and just happened to look at me a little more. I don't know any young women."
After he came here, except for those members of the Chen family who had met once, the rest of the people he dealt with were men. How could there be a woman staring at him? Chen Xing was slightly puzzled, and then forgot about it.
Although it was a busy day, the items sold out quickly. It took Chen Xing only two hours to sell out all the dishes.
Chen Xing was always late and didn't buy anything. At this time, some complaining customers apologized and just put away their things and went back.
When Chen Xing returned to Gu's mansion, it was already past the time for eating in the mansion. He ate something casually, packed his kitchen utensils, went back to his room, took out the small box for collecting money, and threw the coins all over the place. It poured out and formed a small mountain on the table.
Chen Xing looked at today's harvest with eyes full of light. After counting, he found that today's harvest was three times what he earned from selling mapo tofu in the past.
Chen Xing calculated that maybe within a few months, he would be able to save enough money to open a shop, and then he would rent another shop, hire a cook and two waiters. Not only did he have an extra income, but he could also pay back Gu Lang's money quickly.
The thoughtful Chen Xing happily put the money back into the small box, took another look at the sky outside, and found that it was still early, so he decided to take a nap first, and then go to the vegetable market when he wakes up, so that he can make more money tomorrow. Tell the boss about the soy milk, and by the way, buy a chicken to stew for Gu Lang to nourish his body.
So, when they were eating in the evening, Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu discovered that they had an extra chicken soup on their menu today.
Looking at the chicken soup with red dates floating in it, Gu Lang silently looked at Chen Xing. There was no need to guess who bought this chicken.
Seeing Gu Lang looking at the chicken soup and looking at himself again, Chen Xing thought he wanted to eat it but was too embarrassed to do it, so he reached out and took his bowl, filled him with a bowl of chicken soup with oil removed, and specially scooped up two more for him red dates.
While handing the chicken soup to Gu Lang, Chen Xing looked at him and muttered, "Young master Gu is not in good health, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition. I have made some money recently, and I can't afford expensive supplements, so I can only buy these Cheap things. You can eat as much as you can first, and then buy nourishing medicine after I make more money."
Speaking of this, Chen Xing couldn't help sighing. In ancient times, nourishing medicines were all dug deep in the mountains by people. Unlike modern times, they can be artificially planted, so the price is not cheap, and he can't afford it now.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's worried look, but his pale face was stained with a smile. He reached out to take the bowl from Chen Xing, and touched Chen Xing's warm fingertips with his cool fingertips. He looked at Chen Xing Suddenly blushing, he said softly, "Thank you!"
Gu Lang's fingers were very cold, but Chen Xing felt burnt the moment he touched them. He blushed and quickly withdrew his hands, looked at Gu Lang and said, "No, you're welcome, these are just It can be used to deduct a little food expenses."
Qiu Jiu, who had been eating in silence next to him, took a sneaky look at his young master, and saw that he took the chicken soup handed over by Chen Xing with a normal expression, and responded to Chen Xing's words that he wanted to make money to buy him supplements. A random pair of expensive medicines in the medicine jar suddenly felt a little guilty for no reason.
The small episode just now caused a brief silence on the dining table, only the occasional sound of adding vegetables.
In the midst of this silence, Gu Lang suddenly asked casually, "You sell so many things every day, are you busy?"
Chen Xing, who was still engrossed in his meal, hadn't reacted to Gu Lang's words for a while, but after reacting, he quickly responded: "I don't have many things in my place, except when there are many people, I'm a little fussy. Besides, the rest of the time can be busy."
Seeing Chen Xing's full of vigor, Gu Lang tapped his finger on the table twice, as if he was thinking about something, and continued to ask: "Do you want to sell more things and make more money? "
Although he didn't know why Gu Lang asked this question, Chen Xing still honestly said what was in his heart. He shook his head and said, "The customers I need are almost fixed now. If you increase the quantity rashly, it will not only There will be a lot left, and it may prolong the time for me to set up a stall, and it is even more likely that the remaining ones will not be sold. So forget it, and when I have a bigger site, I will consider increasing the variety of food.”
Gu Lang nodded when he heard the words, "It's true, saving some money to rent a shop is more convenient than going to a booth."
After Gu Lang finished speaking, he glanced lightly at Qiu Jiu, who had been eating silently since serving the table, and then turned his head to stare at Chen Xing and said, "In that case, I will ask Qiu Jiu to help you, so that you are busy When it is time, we can have more people and come back sooner.”
Hearing what Gu Lang said, Chen Xing quickly waved his hands, and said back, "No, no, I can handle it myself."
Qiu Jiu was very happy to help Chen Xing. He saw that Chen Xing didn't move too many things every day. Compared with the original training, he didn't know how much easier it was. For him, it was really not a kind of exercise.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who had been rejecting him all the time, and his tone was gentle, but there was an unquestionable order in it, "You and Qiu Jiu have nothing to do at home, why don't you help me, so you can come back early to cook lunch .”
Hearing this, Chen Xing was taken aback for a moment, they ate three meals in the Gu mansion, while the people outside ate two meals, so there was still a time gap in between, so if he sold it quickly, he would be able to Came back earlier. He took Gu Lang's body into consideration, and felt that it would be okay to come back early to cook.
Seeing Chen Xing's hesitation, Gu Lang didn't give him a chance to repent, he stood up slowly from his seat, and said arbitrarily: "Okay, it's settled like this, Qiu Jiu will follow you to the stall from tomorrow. "
Before Chen Xing could react, he only saw Gu Lang's back and heard Qiu Jiu's excited voice next to him, "Chen Xing, I'll go sell things with you tomorrow!"
Chen Xing turned to look at Qiu Jiu's youthful face, fell silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Well, I've worked hard for you today, and I will also prepare wages for you." He can't take it for nothing. His cheap.
Just as Qiu Jiu wanted to ask Chen Xing what his salary was, he saw Chen Xing's face was worried, and he walked back without saying a word, muttering how much salary he should give.
Staring at Chen Xing's worried back, Qiu Jiu rubbed her head, wondering whether to tell the young master about it, after all, he is not short of this little money, but Chen Xing is short!

Q: Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you lied to Little Xingxing like this
Gu Lang: I can be as beautiful as a flower and let Chen Xing earn money to support his family.
Qiu Jiu: I have a guilty conscience.
